Ecco Range

Ecco basin mixers are a single-lever tapware range available in matt gold, matt nickel, gun metal and polished chrome, with both standard and tall basin mixer options depending on your basin and benchtop height. The range is built around one consistent lever design across all four finishes, making it straightforward to specify a coordinated look across an ensuite, powder room or main bathroom.

Single lever design

Every Ecco basin mixer uses a single lever to control both flow and temperature, rather than separate hot and cold controls. This keeps the benchtop footprint small, which matters on narrower vanities or where the basin mixer sits close to a splashback. The single lever mechanism on the Ecco range moves through a smooth quarter-turn action, giving fine control over water temperature without the wider two-handle layout that older tap designs rely on.

The Ecco single lever basin mixer suits both wall-mounted and deck-mounted basin setups, though the specific mounting configuration should be checked against your vanity or benchtop before ordering, since basin mixer height and reach vary depending on basin depth and tap hole placement.

Finish options

The Ecco range comes in four finishes. Matt nickel is currently the most requested Ecco finish, offering a warm, low-glare metal tone that softens under bathroom lighting and hides water spots more effectively than a polished surface. The Ecco matt nickel basin mixer pairs well with warm-toned tiles, timber vanities and brushed metal accessories elsewhere in the room.

Matt gold gives a stronger, richer finish for bathrooms built around a warmer, more premium colour palette, and works particularly well against dark tile or stone benchtops. Gun metal offers a darker, cooler alternative for bathrooms leaning into a moodier palette without going as stark as matte black. Polished chrome remains the most neutral of the four and is the safest option where the basin mixer needs to match a wide mix of existing fittings, including older tapware that hasn't been finished in a trend colour.

Every Ecco basin mixer in polished chrome carries the same single-lever body and handle profile as the coloured finishes, so switching finishes later (for a future renovation stage, for example) doesn't require a different tap style.

Basin mixer vs tall basin mixer

The standard Ecco basin mixer suits basins with a shallower bowl or a vanity where benchtop clearance is limited. The Ecco tall basin mixer raises the spout height, which is better suited to deeper vessel basins or basins that sit above the benchtop line, where a standard-height spout would leave too little clearance for hand washing. Confirm your basin's bowl depth and mounting style before choosing between the two, since the wrong spout height on a deep vessel basin can cause splashing.

WELS water rating

Ecco basin mixers carry a WELS (Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme) rating, which is mandatory for tapware sold in Australia under the national water efficiency scheme. A higher WELS star rating indicates lower water flow at the same usable pressure, which affects both water bills and compliance with local water authority requirements in some states. Check the specific WELS rating listed against the finish and model you're ordering, as flow rate can vary slightly between the standard and tall basin mixer variants within the Ecco range.

Choosing the right Ecco basin mixer for your bathroom

Start with your basin type and mounting height, since this determines whether the standard or tall Ecco basin mixer will fit correctly. From there, match the finish to the rest of the room, using matt nickel or matt gold for warmer palettes, gun metal for a darker contemporary look, and polished chrome where the basin mixer needs to blend with a wider mix of existing tapware and accessories.
